I am passionate about children and young people hearing and responding to the gospel and enjoy the part I play in the SU movement as the North Team Leader. I have lived in Lancashire for 19 years and love all that God is doing in the region.

Mission Enabler

Hi, as a Mission Enabler I am keen to work with churches as they connect with children and young people and help them to explore and grow in faith in Jesus. As an ex-teacher, schools work is particularly close to my heart and I am passionate about equipping young people to live for God at school and to be confident followers of Jesus in their places of study. I’m only able to do this work thanks to the generosity of a small but generous group of supporters. ’

I absolutely love seeing the lives of young people transformed by the love of Jesus. By working with churches and communities across Greater Manchester, we can give children and young people the opportunity to hear the gospel and be transformed by his love.

Mission Enabler

I've been involved in youth and children’s work most of my life as a teacher, youth worker, schools worker and as a volunteer. I believe in outreach to children and young people and my role is about encouraging, equipping and inspiring God’s church to be effective partners with God in the exciting project of reaching children, youth and families with the good news about Jesus. Get in touch if there are ways that I can support or advise you in any way to be more effective at doing this.

Support Worker

As the Support Worker, I help with all the behind-the-scenes administration for the team. I'm actively involved in my church, helping with the children’s work. I have a real heart for sharing God’s love, and my prayer is that God will be able to use me to help provide even more opportunities for children to be introduced to Jesus.

I love sharing the good news of Jesus with children, young people and families – especially those on the margins. I’ve worked in schools, communities and churches for the past 15 years and I am passionate about supporting local churches to share the transformational love of God with children and young people.

Revealing Jesus Pioneer - Durham & North East

As a Revealing Jesus Pioneer I’m supporting churches in the North East of England as they reach out to children and young people with the good news of Jesus. As a volunteer youth worker and a church leader, I’m also sharing my passion for seeing young people develop and grow as disciples. It’s exciting to work alongside other passionate people, working together to make Jesus known in the North East and in partnership with the Durham Diocese.

I am a born and bred scouser and have a real heart for Merseyside; I can’t wait to work with churches to support them as they share God’s love with children and young people in their communities.
